Bottom line, 45 minutes after ordering our food, our entrees had still not arrived (after 30 minutes of waiting we said we were in a rush, which we felt was evident in us sitting down and as soon as we could, we got the waiters attention — which was hard — to say we were ready to order). At the 45 minute mark we said I’m sorry, we’ll need to take our food to go (we told 2 people including our waiter that we now needed our meals to go) and needed the check (our credit card was on the table). They then proceeded to bring out the plated food another 5 minutes from then, to which we said again, no we truly need to leave and need our food to go. We then paid the bill (which we probably should not have) and still had to wait another 7 minutes for our food. The food was delicious, the service was not, and where we were seated was also uncomfortably small + too close to the other tables. Thankfully the company was delightful!

Food is pretty good. Service was ok. But it’s really loud!! We could barely hear each other over the live music.

Wonderful ambiance. Nice and wide menu, plenty if choices. Good craft cocktails. Food was great. Zucchini cake appetizer, Halibut and Lobster Bucatini entrees were all very good.We were there on a Wednesday evening, and at first the service was a bit slow but it picked up and everything worked out well. The live music was great, they just need to work on the volume and acoustics in the room, it was a little loud and sharp, needs a little softening.

Food was good. Guess is mother’s day and they are super busy and waited quite a bit for the food. Maybe go on a less busy day - maybe their service will be better. Will go back and try again
